What a scam. Do not book if you are a foreigner. Lies lies…read morelies and total jerks. We book online - a double room. Get there - they see 2 of us and refuse to allow us in without an additional 200 kr. We show them the website- show them on phone nowhere to click " 2 people" and that we booked a " double room". Aka 2 people. They tell us the beds and rooms do not accommodate 2 people and we need to pay even more to a 4 person family suite. We ask to speak to the manager . They refuse. We continue to ask to explanation and take out card as it appears there is no way around this madness. and the woman behind the desk starts snapping and raising their voice at us that we are " screaming " at her and she will refuse to allow us in hotel. She walks away and so does the several other people checking people in. We are left standing there mystified. No manager appears . There is one woman at the counter left and we ask her what the hell just happened and told her we were clearly not shouting. She checks us in . We get to the clearly for 2 people room- large bed- 2 wine glasses- 2 water glasses- 2 cups for coffee- 2 identical sets of towels. What a total scam to milk people out of money by demanding last min fees. We will not be staying at Clarion properties again and will use the Raddison next time.

This place is so so super convenient in all ways!! I had an early morning flight, my first time…read moreleaving from this airport and the weather was snowy- decided my best bet was to stay close to the airport the night before my flight. This hotel is attached to the airport so you never have to venture outside into the cold and snow. Their breakfast starts at 4am - for those of us that have a super early flight. This is the earliest breakfast start time I've ever experienced. And the free breakfast buffet was extensive - almost to the level of resort buffets. Check-in and checkout were super easy with the friendly people at the front desk However- I could not get the heating to work. It was pretty chilly in my room considering one wall was all glass overlooking the runway. (Absolutely no noises coming through the glass). Not much change in temperature after adjusting the thermostat, so I called the front desk and they offered a space heater. It took a bit of time, but the room warmed up to comfortable. Other than that hiccup, I would stay here again for all the benefits they offer.

Surprised the rating sits this high; one wonders if the reviewers ever actually dined here. Service…read moreis anything but prompt--after twenty-two minutes without attention, I resorted to the bar just to get a drink. No service ware was set at the table, despite several open seats nearby, and I wasn't alone in my frustration; other guests wore the same look of quiet dissatisfaction. The room itself is snug but tidy, a modest setting that could have worked with better execution. Proximity to the airport is a quick shuttle away: TBD if prompts at 5am. I'll adjust my impression after the night's sleep, as the lodging deserves its own judgment. As for the food, when it finally arrived, it was--ironically--the evening's saving grace: flavorful, well-prepared, and far more deserving of praise than the service that delivered it.

My room had a bunk bed with a queen on the bottom and a double on the top. There were extra blankets and pillows. The shower and toilet were down the hall and very clean. You so have to use the squeegee and clear the water from the floor when you are finished. There is an outlet in the room to charge your electronics or hair styling product. If you book ahead of time you do not have to remove the dirty linens from your bed. I had a 12 hour layover and the cost was 800 krona which was about 400 cheaper than Clarion Hotel that is near by. The staff are super polite and are available 24/7

There are 3 hotels in the airport and the last one I checked with was the Rest and Fly. Unfortunately they were totally booked for the evening. I was so grateful to meet Linn (front desk hostess) who helped me navigate which hotels were close to the airport and would be in my price range. She went the extra mile to accommodate a weary traveler and directed me to the correct location to meet the free shuttle to take me to the hotel also. Thank you Linn for making me feel welcome in your country and getting a place to stay that evening. Keep up the great service and beautiful smile that makes the day for the people you meet even when they are not the guests of your hotel.

The Connect Hotel is a utilitarian hotel near the airport that offers a free shuttle bus (every 30…read moreminutes from about 4:00am to midnight) to and from Arlanda. For those who book cheap fares with long layovers like we did, Connect Hotel is perfect. There is nothing fancy here but it is quite nice. My traveling companion actually described it as "Ikea like." The hotel is clean, comfortable and quiet so we got a good night's rest before the last leg of our journey. There is a full bar in the evening -- which is great for a weary traveler. Their restaurant service exceeded expectations. You make your selections, pay at the bar and soon the food is delivered to your table in the commons area. You can eat it there or retreat to your room if you prefer. My traveling companion is vegan and though the menu did not offer vegan dishes per se, several items, including a hearty bulgar salad, were easily adapted to a vegan diet simply by omitting the cheese. I ordered a shrimp sandwich. The small shrimp (probably 36-40 size) were piled high on an open face sandwich dressed with mayo and garnished with a pickle and fresh veggies. Along with a side of fries it was a satisfying meal. Breakfast is served starting at 4:00am in the morning -- a definite plus for those with early flights. The breakfast buffet includes a selection of breads, cold meats and cheese, hard boiled eggs, yogurts, fruit, cereals, juices, coffee and tea. They also offer gluten free and lactose free options for those on special diets (which also worked well for my vegan companion). We ate our fill and caught the 7:00am bus to the airport, getting there with plenty of time to leisurely work our way through security and to our gate. So if you have an itinerary like ours, you'll find that the Connect Hotel should serve your needs well.

"Are we at IKEA?!" First words out of our mouth…read more AMBIANCE: ------------ The lobby is neat, clean, and well decorated. Definitely something out of an IKEA designers' collection. The staff welcomes you from behind the reception desk, which also operates as a bar! So of course we were immediately fond of this place. STAFF: ------- Staff is helpful and courteous, and can help you figure out the best way to visit neighboring areas. They were quick to help when I requested a bag of ice for my ankle (which has been slowly healing from a grade 3 sprain since May 15). Really appreciated their concern. ROOMS: --------- They are TINY! But they get the job done. The four of us shared between us a double bed and a bunk bed. The boys graciously took the bunk bed. :) The bathroom is even smaller. If you bend over while sitting on the toilet, you may bump your head on the sink counter. If you try to shower in the magical glass door compartment that has no tub but doesn't leak water, you may bang an elbow or knee. But nothing we can't deal with for such a good price! FOOD: ------- Basic complimentary breakfast of lunch meats, cucumber & tomato, cheese, bread, granola and yogurt, some fruits, and coffee. Lunch and dinner (and of course drinks) are available for separate purchase. LOCATION: ------------ Perfect if you need to stay close to the airport. Since we had only one night here for our layover on the way to Barcelona, this was the best location. It was only about a 15-20 minute Uber to downtown Stockholm. Transportation rocked. A designated bus picked us up at the airport, dropped us off at the hotel, and brought us back to the airport the next morning. Very convenient! TIP: This will do the job and fit your travel budget. DATE TIP: Not the most romantic rooms for a getaway. Would recommend looking elsewhere! :D

The only frustrating thing about Görvälns Slott has to do with their sometimes haphazard hours. One day we walked the 40 minutes through the forest to find that they were not serving anyone but their guests bc they were short-staffed, despite proclaiming on their website that they were now open until 10:30pm, in line w/ the newly relaxed COVID restrictions. Today, we rowed a boat over in the beautiful, warm summer day only to be told that only guests with dinner reservations were able to have a glass of wine on their immense/predominantly empty patio. Such a bummer! Apparently, this is only a Sunday policy(?). There was a fika station out on the terrace selling coffee/tea/refreshments/chokladbollar, etc. Since the opening/serving/drinking rules seem to shift with the tide, I'd recommend calling in advance to verify whether you can be served. With such a wonderful terrace, it's a shame not to be able to casually drop by and grab a drink. The restaurant serves amazing food, btw. I love this place.

The relax area together with sauna and pool was in a separate building, which we also had the pleasure to enjoy for an hour or two. Dinner, breakfast and lunch was served in a building a couple of hundred meters away from the reception and all meals were definitely great. The area itself have a lot of green areas, close by water and an obstacle course for the chosen one. Overall our whole schedule was smoothly timed with everything from "fika" and food in general to checkin/checkout. There is not much to do around the fenced area since its in the middle of nowhere, but that might be a good thing, so you can focus on teambuilding all day long!
